about rev. Julie Haas

Years ago, my life brought me to a place where everything had to change.

I have lived through experiences that required me to rebuild from the inside out—surviving coercive control, navigating profound illness, and reclaiming my life after being bedridden from autonomic nervous system failure. Along that journey, I also faced my own recovery and today I live gratefully with over 16 years of sobriety. My journey through the depths of hell into my own sovereignty, informs my mission to help others to do the same. 

Those experiences reshaped the way I understand healing, resilience and the human spirit.

They led me into a deeper exploration of the body, emotional healing, and spiritual awareness. I trained as a Usui Reiki Master and studied multiple lineages of energetic medicine—approaches that view the body as an intelligent system capable of restoring balance and vitality.

At the same time, I felt called to explore spirituality more deeply. I spent two years in New York City at One Spirit Seminary, studying world religions, contemplative traditions, and diverse spiritual paths that support connection to meaning, purpose, and inner wisdom. This path led me to become an ordained interfaith minister.

To deepen my work further, I completed a certification in Somatic Trauma Therapy through The Embody Lab, focusing on how trauma is stored in the body—and how it can be safely released through embodied practice.

Today, my work brings together everything I have lived, studied and practiced.

Through Faithfully Driven, I offer mentorship, relationship guidance, and sacred ceremonies that support healing, personal transformation, and conscious partnership.

I also have the privilege of officiating weddings—standing with couples at the threshold of a new life together. Because the beginning of a marriage is not simply a celebration—it is the foundation of a shared future.

Whether through mentorship, healing work, or ceremony, my work is rooted in one intention:
to help people reconnect with their strength, their awareness, and their capacity to move forward with clarity and intention.

Because no matter how difficult the journey has been, I believe something deeply important—

We are far more resilient than we realize.
